Transactional Analysis

Transactional analysis

Transactional analysis (TA) is a very widely used form of therapy and is often integrated with other therapies. It is centred on the idea that each person has three ego states; parent, adult and child. These states are analysed to determine how individuals communicate and where ineffective behaviours occur. The therapist can then work with the person to find better paths to an improved outcome.
